Domain walls and oplax natural transformations

Will Stuart , TUM (Technical University of Munich)
In the Atiyah-Segal framework for TQFT, a domain wall is a functor out of a decorated bordism category. In this talk I will illustrate an equivalence between topological domain walls and oplax natural transformations. I’ll show how this equivalence provides an extension of the usual cobordism hypothesis to the setting of domain walls.
